Tony Adams has addressed the apparent ‘heated row’ he had with his partner Katya Jones during the closing moments of Strictly Come Dancing’s live show on Saturday.
The former footballer, 56, had made a string of mistakes during his Salsa earlier in the night, and ended up at the bottom of the leaderboard, with Katya, 33, admitting she’d shouted at him afterwards.
Tony was then seen speaking very animatedly with Katya when Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly were wrapping up the show, prompting rumours of a ‘heated row’ between the pair.
